Dayton Youth Radio returns today with a story from Anna Mullin, a Yellow Springs High School student who will be voting for the first time in this year's election.  She's taking her opportunity very seriously and thinks other young people should do the same.  She spoke with her parents and other community members about their experiences at the polls.

Anna Mullin is a student at Yellow Springs High School.  Special thanks to Eli Hurwitz, Library Media Specialist at Yellow Springs High School.

Support for Dayton Youth Radio comes from Dayton Rotary Foundation, the George and Alice Wallace Charitable Foundation, and the Iddings Foundation
